Didn't want to start a thread but couldn't find anywhere to insert it.
Couldn't help but notice, Spain win the U-21 Euros the other day, now they have ah whole new team in the U-20 WC and men from Real and Barca, and this one from Liverpool (Suso) who I didn't realize was ah lil boy.
Anyway I doh know what in the drinking agua in Spain but we need to giving dat to all we young ballers, oh and when Hart leave get ah Spanish coach ;)
-
Deulofeu and Jese are monsters in the making. And yes that Suso was off my radar entirely. He played very well.
-
Yeah Deulofeu is naked fire, I want to see him in other games to see if he really that fast or if was just the US defense that was that slow.
I love the free-kick marker vanishing spray!!! Hopefully see it at WC next year.

-
Dem Ghanaian yutemen well share beats today, against the US! Every US player get ah taste!

The young star tuh keep yuh eye on is Bruma of Portugal. Fella have energy, skill, technique and intent for days, and he is only 18!

Watching the England side- some of their players as one dimensional as they senor players/younger version of the senior sides. Their number 9 only good enough tuh get tap ins or another Andy Carroll waiting to happen. No creativity, except for the United player Cole ;D. And it is amazing the coaches they have working with these youths. Old men like Peter Taylor and Psycho who grew up playing boom kick football. Why they still think these English coaches know how to groom young players into all round players is beyond me.

Look England just send a "bess" squad to the Euro U21 and dey tootz down Israel. That squad fail, this U20 squad fail and they anxious about the senior team qualifying for the WC next year. Ah starting to see more angst filled editorials in the English press about the state of their football. Maybe now they beginning to realize that the shine of the Premier League has been blinding them for too long, their youth development policies are deficient, they are being left behind and they have sacrificed their national teams at the altar of the Premier League.

You all have the teams the wrong way round the U-20 team was supposed to be the 'Bright lights' this year they were as close to full strength as you are ever likely to see England put out at any youth tournament. I think the U-21's were missing about 9 (if you don't count the guys with the Brazil squad) players - none had sustained injuries to exclude them from playin - who could have started in Israel. That is why Pearce was complaining, just takin the Norway loss; Norway had 3 players who played fuh their full national team and were then immediately flown to Israel for the u-21 tournament.
As for the U-20 side, I agree with giggsy that they lacked creativity but if you watched the whole of their three games an not jus the highlights they should have easily beat Iraq and Egypt and won a tight one against Chile. I have never seen more dominant England performances than the First Halves against Iraq and Egypt. They should have been leading both by at least 3 at half-time. Is when they were chasing games needing to get ah result that the lack of creativity really stood out, they only seemed to do one thing (for the most part) play it wide and hope fuh ah good cross to come in. And that hardly happen.
Can't agree on Taylor and Pearce - Taylor was in the same boat as Hart is, joined the squad just before the tournament. I thought he prepared the team excellently, national managers can't teach strikers how to score, wingers how to cross and midfielders how to pass. Pearce results have spoke fuh themselves - 2 finals and a semi final loss on penalties, I think he just lost his motivation after years of having tuh make do with the crumbs thrown his way as he has never had anywhere near a full strength squad to pick from.

England is garbage. End of story. Iraq......Iraq...... England couldn't beat Iraq. What kind of coaching and facilities do you think Iraq has compared to England's. I was certain Egypt would beat them.
-
That article confirmed what I felt while watching the game...Harry Kane especially!! I said there's no way in hell he is he best U-20 target forward in England. The youth miss about 6 goal yes :(

Egypt is a more organised team, that why I thought they were fair better against England.
We could change the Pro-League to the TT Premier League too. Furthermore I said as compared to England. Obviously England literally has hundreds of better grounds and thousands of certified coaches.

Great match up showing on ESPNU. Portugal v Ghana. Hope tuh see serious beats passin. Bruma #11 on display and #7 Acheampong for Ghana! Portugal seems tuh have some serious talent coming up. Real nice tuh watch. Hope dey can be successful at the next level.

nigeria too...but i ent going there today. yesterday nigeria keeper let them down...i listen to it in spanish and whole game them men going on and on about how "unorthodox" the nigeria keeper was. france...my word. that is a bomb squad...it was men against boys against turkey yesterday. they drew with usa in the group stage but they took the foot off the gas otherwise tab ramos side coulda collect about 5.
-
of the players i have seen, that jese from spain is a dan...the #10 from colombia quintero...he is a general my word. pogba is very impressive, he will be in the senior midfield before too long i think he is already better than some playing for the senior side. barkley from england was good too, he mightn't stay in everton much longer
-
Impressed with Ghana's defensive play-very organized and disciplined. Dey also working the ball around the pitch well.
I love different and unique sounding footballer names ; some of these Portuguese players have some real sexy football names boi. Their names soundin nice rollin off the tongue compared to some of the present day Brasilian names out here. Bruma will be United's, since we have a set up with his team in Portugal.
-
Portugal out. Hard luck guys; to bad the fellas in the wall pull a Nasri .Well done Ghana, very impressive; played composed, discipline and effective ball.

Yeah, he is special, and just relentless on the ball. He just scored a free kick in injury time tuh send the match tuh extra time.
-
Did anyone see the Mexican's goal against Spain yesterday? Sweet volley from a tight angle too.
-

-
Rebic was impressive, but hard luck.

Ah had tuh laugh when the announcer said " they had the youngest team in the tournament" and "African sides usually have the youngest teams in the tournaments." :devil: ;D
-
Ghana must have the shortest side; dem fella well low tuh the ground, and strong no arse!
-
Is only goalazzo in this game.
-
United on the board! ;D Shake and bake!
Wouldn't mind a France v Ghana final just for the skills that will be on display. But they might end up meeting in the semis.
-
Finally!
Ghana is very wasteful greedy in the final 3rd.

....seems to be the legacy of African football, right?
-
Ghana continue to impress. None of the usual wildness in attack you see with some African sides. Fellas composed on the ball in the back and in attack, and liking up well when moving the ball.
-
These African youths does never cease to amaze me with the things they can do with and around the ball BOTH in attack and on defense....African football always suffers from wither poor organization/discipline or poor finishing. Otherwise, these teams would have really been dominating these tournaments at all levels, not just the Junior ones.

This is the most composed African side I have seen in a while, as far of use of the ball. This side seem well coached. Shame the "16" will miss the game against France if they go thru. He has been very enjoyable to watch.

Dem fellas like dey bun.

The is one of the first African side I have seen who hasn't made plays tuh been demselves. Now if it goes to PKs all bets are off.
-
By the way, if yuh is good enough as an announcer, yuh doh need no "colour person' providing analyst. Plus the game of football, great enough where yuh don't need more than one person on the mike.

They finally pass the ball instead of taking the low-percentage shot and get the goal.
-

-

Truss when ah tell yuh....These Africans LOVE to shoot.....ALL ah dem.

Dey couldn't handle the short man! This Ghana side have belly fuh days and confident in dey abilities! To bad the best two remaining sides playing in the semis. It would be nice tuh see a France v Ghana! Iraq v Uruguay.
-

For all de talk people does be makin' about African players being overage, your comment isn't obviously sarcastic. It could very well be construed as being an implication. As far as being "contrarian" I cyah help it if I have a mind of my own.

Semis today
France vs Ghana- 10:45am
Iraq vs Uruguay - 1:45pm
I am hoping for extra time in the first game, and I would like a Ghana win! I love this Ghana side, they play until the whistle, along with good skills and technique. France has been coastin all tournament, lets see what dey have, since dey will be pushed by this Ghana team. Dey definitely have the height advantage, don't know if dey have the same fight in dem as Ghana.
-
Referee now give a Frenchie a YC for simulation....it looked obvious and terrible...man push de ball past a defender and try to outpace him, defender throws out a forearm but makes little to no contact...forward take about a step or two and proceed to trow he self on de ground...well done by the referee, now if they could only learn to ketch the ones where contact is actually made but not enough to be actually a "foul" and card THEM players too, all this divin' shit go stop.
-
BOOOOOOOOOOO to de Ghanaian player dat jes get de French fullback send off. De Frenchy fingers lightly brush de Ghanaian face while fending him off. De Ghanaian gone down clutching he face like if it on fire or someting. French player colleck a 2nd yellow and off he goes.
I HATE DAT SHIT!
Spoil a thoroughly entertaining game for me :pissedoff:

Hear nah. TV 6 coverage designed to frustrate. They don't show the score on the screen so at any given time yuh cyar just pop een the kitchen and check the time and score......steups!!
ah take it from your post they gone into extra time? *gone to check FIFA website*
-
I hope Iraq and Uruguay ready for more running
I hope Iraq can hold them off and prevail on PK's....or better yet, score and win outright. If Uruguay score first in ET it go be over fuh dem Iraqis.
-
The Iraqi crowd still jumping up after 120+ minutes.
That is a serious stones lime though, they might want to rethink that concept.
-
Save keep!
Save post!
After the initial 2, some excellent penalties here.
And finally the bad one.
Hard luck dey Iraq. No Soup For You!

De Iraqi 'keeper let meh dong man....all but one of the penalties Uruguay scored went to his right and he keep guessing and went left for all but the one that went to his left. :frustrated:
-
Glad France prevailed; that Ghanaian player's response to being brushed in the face was an embarrassment to him, and his team after the way they conducted themselves to get to this match. Hope dey go home empty handed because of it. He ruined a young man's opportunity to play in a final.
-
Iraq finally gets beaten by Ghana.
Good game, though, as always for a 3rd place match, one team was less enthusiastic than the other.
-
France's defense will be their downfall in this match. Dey missing their #5 who was wrongfully sent off against Ghana.
-
Geezan forkin ages! Somebidy need tuh tell dem two commentators that the forking US not playing in this match, and we doh want tuh hear about dem! So stop forkin referring to dem. Can't stand that midget Twellman-his like he getting paid by the word and he invented football!

France now win on PK's....
-
Just got a chance to see the PK shootout, I like how the 1st Uruguyan place the ball outside the PK spot (really in a WC final??) and spent a few seconds dialoging with the ref (all the while I'm thinking, yuh just jumbieing yuhself and yuh team), sure enough he kicks ah cacahole PK.
